Complete the General Configuration Section

In the Email daily payment reports to <email configured on Company Identity page> field, select Yes or No.
In the Days between automatic payment retries field, type the number of days to wait until you retry an automatic payment. The number you enter in this field is cumulative, so if it’s set to 2 days, the first retry occurs 2 days after first failure, then the next retry occurs 4 days after the first retry, and so on.
In the Maximum credit card hard declines field, type the number of times a credit card can be tried before no longer attempting to charge on hard declines. Setting to 0 allows unlimited hard declines.
In the Days before notifying admin of failed payment attempts field, type the number of days to wait before notifying the admin configured in the Clients Setting – General Settings page. This is the Charge Queue Update email. See Configuring the Client Manager General Settings for more information.
In the Retry failed charges field, select either Unlimited retry attempts to continue charging credit cards, Limited retry attempts to continue charging credit cards for only a set amount of times, which displays the Retry Limit field to set the amount of retries, or Do not attempt retries to not retry charging credit cards.

Note

Payments are run once a day, and the initial payment failure is not considered a retry. Any credit card payments that have failed or reached their maximum retry attempts will display on the Charge Queue Manager report and an email notice is sent to the email entered into the Email address to receive daily invoicing and charge reports field. See Client General Settings for more information.
In the Retry attempts limit field, enter the number of times to retry charging the credit card. This field displays when Limited retry attempts option is selected in the Retry failed charges field.
